Use This Affirmation for Manifestation
The speaker discusses Florence Scovel Shinn's manifestation philosophy from her 1920s book 'The Game of Life,' emphasizing affirmations that distinguish between authentic heart-centered desires and head-invented ones, with the key principle that what is meant for you cannot be taken away.
Summary
The speaker references Florence Scovel Shinn, an early 1920s teacher and author of 'The Game of Life and How to Play It,' describing it as one of their top five books. Shinn's core manifestation affirmation is 'if it's mine, it's mine, and if it's not mine, I don't want it,' which frames the process of requesting something as potentially involving initial resistance, but ultimately leading to acceptance when something isn't meant for you. The speaker elaborates on the distinction between two types of desires: those originating from the head (invented, inauthentic) and those originating from the heart (authentic transmissions received from a higher source). According to the speaker, developing discernment through healing work helps individuals differentiate between these desire types. Shinn offers another affirmation: 'what's mine from the beginning is mine now and ever shall be mine,' which encapsulates the principle that whatever is authentically meant for you is secure and cannot be lost, while anything not meant for you is unnecessary.
